Description

FIRST AND ONLY EDITION of this account of Biblical history--from the Creation to the Resurrection--in Mangareva (or Mangarevan). 415 pp. PRINTED ENTIRELY IN MANGAREVA (the front board has a single phrase in French, "Histoire sainte en langue mangarÈvienne"). Janeau (1859-1944) was a picpucien missionary in French Polynesia. Illustrated with several small and very dramatic wood engravings. Printed on very good wove paper. Small 8vo. Bound in original cloth-backed boards. Decorative endpapers. Boards a bit worn, but still structurally solid. Internally FINE AND BRIGHT, with no defects. EXTREMELY RARE: WorldCat locates only four copies, one at Yale and three in the South Pacific (Oceania and Hawaii).
